TNG Picard draws a :) (Timescape)

Picard draws a funny in a cloud.

[@Hirobian]

Picard is likely one of the only beings in the entire universe of Star Trek to have drawn something on a warp core breach explosion cloud. Definitely something he can brag and joke about.

[@Dubswitcher]

I bet Q did too

[@Hirobian]

OBV10U3_NINJA Perhaps. :)

[@Dubswitcher]

Hirobian​ :)))) xD

[@SirCraigius]

Q would have drawn boobs.

[@davecrupel2817]

SirCraigius or a penis

[@williamcostigan91]

Imagine they didn't save the day and the last thing some goldshirt sees is a smiling cloud from a warp core breach.

[@termateo6700]

XD

[@NickWrightDataYT]

I want to see the broken hull of the Enterprise with a : ) punched out the side of it (since Picard compressed/concentrated the expanding cloud by drawing in it)

[@wyldelf2685]

A gold onesie most likely , ,lesser crew were given recycled onesies from the first 3 seasons , , , personally I prefer the onesie , , ,and some random crew-men were still wearing the Starfleet one-piece Skort , 😂 🤣😸👍👍

[@volkspanzer8444]

As Picard is screaming hysterically: Troy: "I believe I'm sensing great turmoil and fear.... but I'm not sure."

[@eggnorman]

Literally though lmao

[@marsneedstowels]

Perhaps the Captain should transfer to a transport ship, there's a lot less pressure there.

[@lilben4184]

"Will, I sense how upset you are - you're angry and impatient" 💀

[@TerryAllenSwartos]

The way he pauses laughing and points proudly at his artwork without saying anything...that cracked me up back then, and still does.

[@mgray9264]

I was laughing as hard as Picard was, this show is pure genius...

[@tnerbtnerb5136]

"It's a warp core breach!!! And it's happy to see us!" :D

[@alasdairmacisaac3071]

I'm glad to see that smiley faces like that survive until the 24th century. Also this is brilliant acting from Patrick Stewart. Love this episode.

[@Demiglitch]

Some parts of humanity are just ingrained no matter how smart we get. We're really just monkeys who forgot our tails.

[@Spartan3101200]

When Patrick decides to play a part, he commits to it. Even when the writers clearly fell asleep at their keyboards.

[@renascence239]

Smiley face will exist as long as humans do, because it’s so simple to draw and easy to interpret (pareidolia)

[@bunkyd]

1:27 Picard’s reaction after seeing episode 1 of Star Trek Picard.

[@Contevent]

I believe that considering the horrors he's been through and the psychological trauma he endured, he is the sanest man on starfleet. I think any one else would have lost it after a second encounter with Q..

[@team10leader1]

When I was barely a toddler, my Dad used to watch Next Generation, and I with him. In my mind, I always had the impression that Picard was a no-nonsense type who NEVER smiled or laughed. 10 years later, my Dad tunes into this episode, and for the first time, I see Picard chuckling and making a smiley face. You can imagine how surprising (and maybe unsettling) this was, like watching Batman laugh.

[@jeremybk54]

even us extremely serious folks like to let loose and have some childish fun every once and a while

[@chrisjones4626]

He was suffering from Temporal Narcosis

[@silverhawkflash]

Have you seen American Dad?

[@ViroVV]

The Killing Joke

[@Eusong]

Growing up watching TNG with my parents, this was my favorite scene as a kid. It cracked me up every time.

[@aurex8937]

While he was going "nooooo!" he was totally keeping himself from laughing out loud.

[@otakurocklee]

haha, I thought the same thing.

[@JnEricsonx]

Try watching him trip out in Lifeforce, same thing happens.

[@ytmndman]

This scene actually terrified me as a kid

[@MaestroTJS]

It's pretty creepy if you're watching the full episode.

[@MrDalek2150]

Personally I think the scene near the end of Parallels was scarier where the Alternate Enterprise #1 managed to hail Alternate Enterprise #2 in which the Second one was from a universe where the Federation was gone and the Borg is everywhere in the universe they came from. Really scary considering that the prime universe (which the show usually follows) nearly met that same fate.

[@Siraj75]

The scene that frightened me was when Picard suffered a shock of some kind and his finger nails grew unusally long (due to the accelerated passage of time). Very creepy episode.

[@KarlMering]

This was the last time I cried out of sheer terror. I was 11 years old and completely lost it for about an hour watching this episode. There is something just so perfectly off about this scene, and the :) in the warp breach just puts it over the top. Patrick Stewart is a phenomenal actor, i don't know what note he was playing on but this one but I remember this well.

[@Pyxis10]

The laugh itself is really creepy. Sounds more like something put if a villain than picard

[@rockandstroll]

I reacted exactly the same way as Picard when i once drew the same smiley face in some mud with my finger but then realised the mud was actually poo...

[@SantaNMS]

LOLOLOL!!!

[@jedihunter176]

That's when it changed to 1:25, right?

[@tekbarrier]

The twist: it was Romulan poo

[@eMDTee]

To be honest... I would’ve drawn a smiley face even if I wasn’t going crazy. Because... humour!

[@johndecker3120]

Even without temporal narcosis, this is what would happen if Patrick Stewart were actually a Starfleet captain. This and far, far more. It would be glorious.

[@Quibblet]

+Christopher Luther how come Troi and Data weren't as affected by the narcosis? Is it because he's an android and she's half Betazoid?

[@johndecker3120]

***** : There was a problem with Picard's gadget that protected him from the timeline (I forgot what it was called-not like it matters). It would have affected Troi as well (probably Data too) but his just failed first.

[@thoughtsofglought]

0:56 Just your friendly Gas cloud :)

[@Killerspieler0815]

They have a very big (Pot-) Bong, its filling entire Secondary-Hull - excluding the neck )

[@AMCoffee]

...But watch out, because that's no ordinary gas cloud!

Captain Jean-Luc Picard, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Warp-Core Breach

[@schwarzerritter5724]

If you can draw faces onto the explosion, can't you just scoop it up with buckets and wash out of the ship? Sure, you have to run a lot of times.

[@chuckazeee]

You idiot!

[@JacquesDufrene]

Charles Alvarez no, that's just crazy enough to work!

[@vguyver2]

+Jacques Dufrene Yeah! First we can bypass Data's normal subroutines with technobabble, thus allowing him to use his Android super reflexes and speed to run around the ships decks back and forth like Speedy Gonzales. Make it so Captain Picard, and give the android a sombrero while at it.

[@luciferphd9783]

+Schwarzer Ritter Or just beam it into the nearest, most un-problematic location in deep-space?

[@JacquesDufrene]

Lucifer phD too easy

[@Vladpryde]

Picard is totally tripping balls.

[@JanetStarChild]

What does that even mean? I don't see him tripping anything.

[@DragoMusivini]

How would you go about tripping a ball?

[@Vladpryde]

....you people overthink this shit WAY too much.

[@lucindamobley5492]

I think tripping balls is just a way of excentuating how much you are under the influence of a hallucinagen, or some other type of drug. The balls parts is more fallic than funny.

[@beachmasterX]

Two or three drops in the earl grey more than likely.

[@rixxy9204]

This just demonstrates Patrick Stewart's unbeatable acting skills.

[@rowlandbuck2703]

This scene really was such a mind flip. For a moment, I didn’t know wha show I was watching,or even what universe I was in. Somebody was on psychedelics when they wrote this.

[@mildlycornfield]

Data, the supposedly emotionless android reacts the most here...

[@199NickYT]

He'd been working on his human-like facial muscle reactions for quite some time at this point.

[@larsloschwitz9448]

Is this one of those happy little clouds, Bob Ross was always talking about? 😜

[@davecrupel2817]

0:59 yyyep. Picard has officially lost his shit. c:

[@OtakuMegane]

Not only is this one of the funnier moments in TNG but we all know we'd do the same thing.

[@sarahkinsey5434]

So true

[@LegendarySparantus]

Well, if I were in his shoes, I'd draw a dick

[@VulKus117]

It’s both funny and terrifying.

[@pickeljarsforhillary102]

Gas cloud be like If you gotta go, go with a smile.

[@andrewdemetrius8090]

Love the Shatner method at the end ;-)

[@horaciosi]

The fact that they take this scene dead serious makes it more hilarious

[@otakurocklee]

Patrick Stewart was laughing when he was shouting those No's.

[@roetemeteor]

There was no doubt about it he was about to corpse.

[@RunToEternity]

Heh, I used to watch TOS and TNG with my dad. But this, this is what a Shakespearean actor can bring to a show.

[@presbarkeep]

This is my favorite episode of TNG. When I was a kid, this scene scared the crap out of me - to see the captain, a pillar of strength and leadership, be consumed with madness, drawing a smiley face in an explosion cloud was so surreal, and downright scary.

[@enoughofyourkoicarp]

Error: This Picard is broken.

[@GmodPlusWoW]

Looks like Picard dropped some serious acid.

[@Justin-Hill-1987]

No wonder he's acting like a big baby!

Data sounds like he's on helium. This was one of my favorite episodes.

[@thorsteng1166]

Me too, i love this episode "🙂"

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

One of my favorite scenes in TNG...ever. Only thing I have to wonder, is how Picard's finger didn't get burned off or at least boiled to the bone when he drew the smiley face? Maybe because time is slowed down the radiation burns slower? And this event is why they invented jettisonable warp cores.

[@blppt]

Technically the Enterprise-D had a core ejection system, it just never, ever worked. Watch "Cause and Effect"---Geordi tries to eject the core but the ejection systems are "offline".

[@demoniack81]

@@blppt Yeah, and I've always found that ridiculous. The warp core ejection system is the ONE thing that should never, ever, ever fail, and yet it fails every single time.

[@blppt]

@@demoniack81 The Galaxy class was a mess. Underperforming in battle, multiple design flaws with the drive system, etc.

I was guessing it's like when you flip food in oil using your fingers.

So that cloud from the warp core has lsd in it??? Now we now how the enterprise engines really work!

[@HawkGTboy]

Wow, you can really see how flimsy the sets actually where when Picard starts beating on that window.

[@rockstopsthetraffic]

HawkGTboy Not necessarily flimsy, just using plastic instead of glass. Plastic windows are by nature quite flexible. From production photographs, the permanent sets seem to have very robust wooden skeletons. They were made to last eight years, after all.

[@michaelmartin9022]

+HawkGTboy Given that people regularly get thrown out of their chairs and several feet through the air every time something hits the outside of the ship, you would want flexible plastic windows

[@davidboda1640]

Bro. It's transparent aluminum.

[@blppt]

Ehhh, you have to remember, this was made for broadcast standard def television. You probably never would have noticed it on your old tube TV. Like those old TOS episodes when remastered show the obvious stunt doubles quite clearly.

[@DJSheard0]

this scared the shit out of me as a kid

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

I was just watching Voyager, S07E05 (the one where the EMH gets kidnapped to work in this alien hospital where their super industrial society's elite workers get great treatment at the expense of letting low level workers die), and at the start someone gets wheeled in suffering from "temporal narcosis delirium". This suggests the same sort of technology was being used, in some fashion, by that society. Just putting this here because it fascinated a nerd like me and it may fascinate you other nerds... You _nerds!_ 🖖😁

[@Enzo012]

Someone should make an edit where season one of Star Trek Picard appears in the cloud rather the smiley face.

[@tartrazine5]

I always thought that Picard just hallucinated the smiley face.

[@dr.bartfratze9354]

me too xD

It's the equivalent of Nitrogen Narcosis but for time. People act strangely, almost drunk, as their brain becomes affected and then they have seizures and can die.

[@gh00stic8]

I laughed my fucking ass off when first saw this scene

[@SuperheroStrength]

Just watched this episode last night. I was crying with laughter. It was so unexpected!

[@Zoltar0]

Someone's got to name a drink after my dude.

I could see Deputy Director Bullock doing this WITHOUT the narcosis.

tbh i would probably do that too if i were there

[@SodaPolycarbonate]

Istg the sudden emotional horror moments in the last 3 seasons or so of TNG was some of the best shit that's ever been done in TV

I drew a smiley face just like that in my cat's litter box and laughed after standing by a cloud of weed smoke one time.
